Wow....can't believe how big your stuff is already. Must be the 'bama heat & humidity? My 'maters & peppersare just getting flowers now. I hear ya on the garden takeover...decided to put up a trellis this year for the Boston pickling cukes. Will see how that goes....they seem so small now though

I have got to figure out a way to "make" the cukes grow up instead of being the "plant" that takes over the back yard! Does that netting work well?

First time using it for cukes. 'Supposed' to work fine once you get the vines started on it. I use a similar thing for snap peas and they climb great. Cukes and squash are pretty much the same...trailing vines that can be trained to go up. The fruits hang for easy picking and less back strain bending over

Here are some things that I harvested the last 2 days. Some turned into dinner tonight too.

The 2 huge cukes had been hiding from me. Those are really too big. But got 3 cukes, a nice bell pepper and the maters on Sunday.

This was from tonight. Got out and put netting up for the pole beans...and Lynn said it looks like spider webs out there. Too dark for a pic of that but I will take some tomorrow. Got 8 better cukes....4 jalaps..pulled on onion early...stepped on it...oops.....4 squash...and 4 anaheim peppers.

Not bad for a day! Here is dinner from tonight.

I made "Garden Fried Rice"! Used my last package of Pops Breakfast sausage...some of the onion..some of the squash...some fresh broccoli...some kale/chickory/red cabbage/shredded brussle sprout veggie blend too. Was yummers....and a bit on the "healthy side".

As usual with my herd...I made a BIG a$$ pan of it too!

Thanks for looking!

Looks so good. We are waiting for our first patio tomato. Our cucumbers are inches high and peppers are a long way away. While I am jealous, I am also impressed with your results. Enjoy your garden.

T posts and a section of field fence or string some wire between the posts and make a "fence".

Also, I have started growing bush variety cucumbers. They are cucumbers that grow in a bush form that stay compact and don't need staking. This year I have planted "Bush Pickle".

Welllllll.....with the Blob (squash plant) and the Creature (the cuke plants)....probably going to do the bush ones next year. It's getting to the point that I cant walk in there with out fear of stepping on something.

Looks like aphids getting to it. Look on bottem of the leafs. They can be smashed and run off they don't like the way their dead smell. You can also make a spray 3parts water 1 part dishsoap. Looks great kat!
